Hey guys, Been rebuilding a 71 ironhead. Never road a bike or know much about them but I got a manual and a motor!
My question is regarding the frame. I've been looking at these david bird frames for about $300
and just wanted to know if there are any pros and cons regarding the frame stretch and drop ?
They have 3 options for stretch 2", 4" and 6"
and 4 options for drop 1" , 2 ", 3", 4"
I Understand the concept of stretch and drop but I don't understand the pros and cons over the different selections.
Is there any benefit to having a 6" stretch as opposed to 2" other than it gives you extra space around the oil tank?
and whats the deal with the drop? is it just going to make it lower to the ground? any benefit other than style/cosmetic?
I'm thinking a 6" stretch and a 2" drop for my selection.. but I've never sat on a bike so I dont know for sure what to go with.
I'm 6'2" 215 lbs
